It stands approximately 73 inches in height on four legs with the three of the four typical brass feet sheathes present, and each side is approximately 18 inches wide. The inside display height is approximately 45 inches. On the inside is a four sided rack that will hold 20 long guns. All four sides are 5/8 inch thick and are marked "WINCHESTER" in white and black bordered red letters with black lettered "PATENT APPLIED FOR" on a white background below. The bottom of the case and the inner edge of the rack is lined with original green felt.
Rating Definition:Very fine, with all of the glass intact and present, wood showing some mild handling/storage wear and a few scattered minor chips. The felt interior lining is intact with some mild fading and wear. A fine piece to enhance the display of your Winchester collection!
